Default RE: Reflex XTR at Toledo

When bringing a product to a market, you have to decide upon a product strategy. That's what we did 12 years ago. Besides some specialities, a major target of our simulation is to make things hard enough to produce the training effect. A SIMULATION in nothing to "please" you but to make things just that little harder than reality in order to produce the training effect. Remember, on the field you will face some other influences we can't simulate like pure fear for the invested money ...

Another aspect of our product strategy is the use of your own radio INCLUDING your own stick sensivity, switch allignment and expo/dual rate setting. Showing a sim on an show is thrilling but it can give you just an idea of what will happen using your own radio with your own preferences. We had some customers claiming the sim was too aggressive, lo sensitive but more people were loving the REFLEX because they finally got something "demanding", something that needs just as much concentration as on the field if not more. "Mr.-10-year-old" was quite some fun but you should have seen the 8-year-old! What a talent - I hope his father explores that talent very carefully. So if you are looking for a fast "sucess", the REFLEX may not be the most ideal product. 3D hovering and torques are nothing that is the next step after showing some flying ability with your first trainer 40. It needs skills and experience to fly like that and skills and experience is built by training and learning.
